2019版二轮复习英语练酷版练习：专题三 习题讲评 课一(含解析)

专题三  完形填空

因淡化首句信息而导致耗时费力

完形填空一般无标题，首句一般不设空，这是为了给考生提供

一个清晰而完整的背景。记叙文首句往往介绍事件发生的时

间、地点、人物和起因等细节信息，说明文和议论文一般通过

文章首句点明全文的主题。仔细分析文章的首句，往往能获取

许多解题信息，从而节省考生的做题时间。

1．利用首句可以帮助我们判断文章的体裁，捕捉文章的要素，预测故事的发展。

[典例1]　 (2018·全国卷Ⅰ) During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits.

[典例2]　 (2017·全国卷Ⅲ) A Toronto man is offering a free round­the­world air ticket to the right woman.

2.利用首句可抓住文章的核心及中心话题，这对于理解全文和解题有着重要的启示作用。

[典例1]　 (2017·全国卷Ⅰ)While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration.

[典例2]　 (2018·江苏高考)Raynor Winn and her husband Moth became homeless due to their wrong investment.
